    I purchased the Butterfly Flower Seeds - Angel Wings Mix in 2020 and unsuccessfully tried starting indoors. I had forgotten about the leftover seed until 2023 when I planted them directly outdoors in a small shallow wooden container. They filled that container with a mass of white & dark to pastel pink shades of small beautiful flowers. They were in bloom from summer until it frosted in the fall. I live in zone 6B and they got full sun in the afternoon. The flowers handled the soil being dry on occasion. Something was nibbling on them but they would quickly grow back or another one would take its place.

    Butterfly Flower Seeds - Angel Wings Mix

    I winter sowed these last year and put them in containers. They are beautiful and so many color variations. The bees enjoyed them, as well. They do only last in my zone 6B until the real summer heat arrives, but well worth it even if its not the entire growing season.

    Butterfly Flower Seeds - Angel Wings Mix

    These are the "Angel Wings" Butterfly Flower, container-planted from seed in Zone 10. They are such a delicate and beautiful flower! (could not find a way to attach a picture of mine, no option displayed).

    Butterfly Flower Seeds - Angel Wings Mix

    These were planted about 1/4 inch deep and took about two weeks to germinate. I covered with plastic to hold in the moisture. I grew them for the 2021 season and they turned our gorgeous in large pots I have on my porch and walk way. I noticed they seem to prefer morning sun and be shaded in the hot afternoon sun.
